Negulesco, Jean |
Date of birth
26 February 1900, Craiova, Dolj, Romania
Date of death
18 July 1993, Marbella, Andalusia, Spain
Jean Negulesco (26 February 1900 - 18 July 1993)
Born in Craiova, he attended Carol I High School. In 1915 he moved to Vienna, and then went to Bucharest in 1919, where he worked as a painter before becoming a stage decorator in Paris.
In 1927 he went to New York City for an exhibition of his paintings and settled there.
In 1934 he entered the film industry, first as a sketch artist, then as an assistant producer, second unit director. In the late 1930s he became a director and screenwriter.
He made his reputation at Warner Brothers by directing short subjects, particularly a series of band shorts featuring unusual camera angles and dramatic use of shadows and silhouettes.
[on Marilyn Monroe] “She’s the girl you’d like to double-cross your wife with.”
Negulesco's first feature film as director was Singapore Woman (1941).
In 1948 he was nominated for an Academy Award for Directing for Johnny Belinda.
In 1955 he won the BAFTA Award for Best Film for How to Marry a Millionaire.
His 1959 movie, The Best of Everything, was on Entertainment Weekly's Top 50 Cult Films of All-Time list.
From the late 1960s he lived in Marbella, Spain, where he died there, at age 93, of heart failure.
During his Hollywood career and in his 1984 autobiography, Negulesco claimed to have been born on 29 February 1900; he was apparently motivated to make this statement because birthdays on Leap Year Day are comparatively rare.
In fact, 1900 was not a leap year, so there was no 29 February in 1900. Negulesco's autobiography (in which this claim appears) is appropriately titled Things I Did and Things I Think I Did.
He has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6200 Hollywood Blvd.
